This is a delightful walk, mostly along well marked footpaths and bridleways., with some sections along very quiet country lanes - which felt safe to walk along....

Watchet has lots of shops and several cafes, including one at the recently-opened art centre at East Quay, while Wheddon Cross has a shop and pub....

After the sharp bends take a path on the left signed to Dunkery then, at the bottom of the hill, go through a gate on the right signed Drapers Way. Cross the path with the snowdrop sign (snowdrop Valley is nearby and worth a detour at the right time of year) and cross the minor road to follow the track to Ford Farm. Continuing on the path divides – left to Porlock (signed Dunkery) and right to Minehead (signed Wootton Courtenay). Follow this all the way to the minor road then another, even rougher, track signed Ford (Digland lane) is walked to another minor road where, immediately left, is a third rough track to the hamlet of Ford. Crossing the ford (there is a small stone footbridge) follow the minor road uphill out of the hamlet and, at the top of the hill, there is a path on the right signed Wootton Courtenay. Turn right on Poundfield Road and then turn left on Cher/Bampton Street and there is a pavement all the way into Minehead...

Starting from Wheddon Cross you have the lovely Drapers Way (with beautiful snowdrops in late February) rising up to windswept Dunkery and then over to the gorgeous woods of the Horner Valley. Some steady climbing but well pathed and the views!...

A terrific Exmoor walk with wide views and beautiful woodlands, taking in some of the most iconic places in the area - Dunkery Beacon, Webber’s Post, Horner Hill and the Horner Valley....

Lovely Exmoor edge walk, well signposted and easy to do by taking the splendid 198 bus from Minehead to Wheddon Cross. The paths are rocky in places, but the route is straightforward, with chances to spot red deer, and fine views over towards Dunkery Beacon....

Pastures, bridleways, streams, pretty woodland north of Wheddon Cross and some forestry tracks. If walking towards Minehead it is easy to miss the post and little yellow sign for the small onward path up to the top of hill when you reach the first track crossing in the forestry north of Wootton Courtenay (at SS 943436 ish)....

Just past the church on the left, there is an x-stile and a finger post to Stowey Wood on the right. Continuing to follow the left edge of the grassy field you head downhill to a gate. Cross the stream by the ruined building and turn left along the stream to another finger post which points right to Kersham. Half way along this field, on the left is a gate onto the minor road. Turn left and walk uphill on the minor road to a cross roads with a busy B-road. At the Croydon Hill sign take the right fork and follow the track to a 5-ways finger post. There is a track directly opposite which you follow to a field edge (which can be overgrown) and a stile into a field then another stile into another field and a gate onto a short section of lane then onto the main A39. Cross over the road with care and turn left....
